Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity needs — Volunteers, Land, and Funding.
Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity has been providing affordable homeownership for those earning less than 60% of Chaffee County’s AMI (currently about $37,620 for a family of 4) for the past 19 years. Thanks to the support from this community, we have completed 20 homes with 2 new homes under construction.
Our current capacity to build does not satisfy the rapidly expanding need. Habitat and the communities of Chaffee County want employees to live where they work. Habitat serves families in the 30% to 60% of area median income. Nearly 400 families in Chaffee Country are in this bracket, paying more than 30% of their gross income for housing and/or living in substandard housing.
Habitat for Humanity is a proven model throughout the U.S. and beyond. Chaffee County Habitat is willing to expand our capacity to meet the needs of the community. We have added a full-time Construction Manager and have tapped into a supplemental volunteer workforce. Additionally, there is a greater awareness of the need for affordable housing at all levels of government – town, county, and state.
Currently, we have land for 3-4 new homes; we always need more volunteers in construction and the ReStore; an additional $50,000 is needed before we can begin the next build.
